Just wondering if there's something rom/kernel related that happens at 40% battery life. I've had a couple auto shutdowns and the only thing they have in common is that when I reboot, there's always exactly 41% battery life showing. It doesn't happen all the time and i've been using it past that level. Just seems weird that there's always 41% battery life. Makes me wonder if there's something that's happening at that exact time that my phone doesn't like. :confused:

Also, the phone is in sleep mode when it happens. It never happens while i'm using it.
[Captivate Android Development] carbon12:
Works great! Thanks for the hard work! :D

I have to say, the only reason that I can think of that when I look for this thread it is always on the second or third page is that there are so few problems. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] axis01:
Yes it can. If you're in the US, JK4 seems to be the modem of choice, which I think this one comes with. TLJL3 worked well for me as well. You can CWM flash each of them to see which works best for you. The new tweaks in this version have made the call volume considerably better. From the sound of it, it's maxxed out now. The only thing that could possibly make it better is to port the audience chip drivers to this rom.
[Captivate Android Development] AdamOutler:
I am not experiencing this problem on any of the 6 phones which I've installed Andromeda3 on... Mine and my wife's, 3 friends and my dev phone... Do you have any battery saving software installed? It is counterproductive if you do.
[Captivate Android Development] slevy951:
Loaded last night....

Couple questions....

1-I downloaded about 4pm cdt last night and installed. I still have the dupe ringtones. Thought this was fixed?

2-The 1.2 version had a keyboard I really liked. Don't k now the name of it, but the number screen was an actual number pad, not just a row. Can I add this in?

Otherwise, the call volume/clarity is superior in this version. Great job to all who worked on this!

[Captivate Android Development] axis01:
Nope, guess it's just my phone. I had the problem initially when new. I used the setcpu method and that cured it. I then started flashing roms and it rarely shut down after that. I just thought it was weird that it only happens at the exact same battery level. Might be time to trade her in for a new one. :D
[Captivate Android Development] AdamOutler:
1. the issue was fixed in a repository build. It is not a high priority. We don't have nightlies up and running. We have another project which we are working on.

2. The gingerbread keyboard was gbkb.apk and a library file which was causing application crashes. This keyboard was removed as a part of the fixes for issue 10. http://code.google.com/p/teamkomin/issues/detail?id=10&can=1 The keyboard libraries were defective and returned an improper version when the libraries were called through standard Android methods. We cannot encorperate a defective keyboard in our builds. The Samsung keypad and Swype keypads both have number pads you can use.
[Captivate Android Development] slevy951:
Very good. Thanks so much.
[Captivate Android Development] A.VOID:
My contact shortcut in LauncherPro is still showing the video phone icon as an option. I don't see it in other roms where it has been completely removed.

Not a biggie, but something is still in ANdro3
[Captivate Android Development] AdamOutler:
Issue was addressed and will be released in next build http://code.google.com/p/teamkomin/issues/detail?id=16&can=1
[Captivate Android Development] creepyncrawly:
It's a hardware problem, and acknowledged by both AT&T and Samsung. The only solution is to get your phone replaced under warranty, by AT&T if you bought from them, otherwise from Samsung.
[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
I was thinking about finally switching over from Darky, but seeing as there are a couple of things you have mentioned are fixed and will be in the next build do you have an eta for that so I can hold off until then?
[Captivate Android Development] Miami_Son:
That's it exactly. If you look at the latest Cog thread, it is always on the first page and someone is always having issues with it.
[Captivate Android Development] AdamOutler:
I would upgrade now. The next build will encorporate new frameworks and other changes from Samsungs source drop sometime this week. It will be a while before we can get all the issues worked out.
[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
Should I wipe from darky or stock then to andromeda?

Hey guys,

I flashed the ursa minor version 2 kernel a few days ago and I seem to be getting worse battery life since doing so. Do you guys give have the kernel that you released with the ROM that is flashable in CWM by chance that I can try out to test?
[Captivate Android Development] megarific:
does andromeda v3 have better battry life than v1?
[Captivate Android Development] timmytim:
I was getting superb battery life on Andromeda3 before flashing the ver. 2 of the ursa minor kernel. It just seems to go faster now.
[Captivate Android Development] SynGamer:
Thanks for the helpful response, unlike other people who won't be named. I DID check the thread and didn't see anything about updating or flashing.
[Captivate Android Development] mxracer101:
There were no changes to the kernel that would affect battery life in version 2. I'd suggest getting something like osmonitor from the market to see what is draining the battery, and if you haven't already...booting into recovery and clearing dalvik cache. The phone will take a long time to boot after you clear dalvik so be patient.

With that said....

I have attached the first version of the kernel in post #4. It is ONLY the kernel, not the modem and apps that are in the "real" zip. So it will only update the kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] pjs2004:
I had v1 before I went to v3. With v1, I had to change the kernel to speedmod, to get my headphone controls working. With that combo, I was having battery drain issues when the phone was just sitting there. I wouldn't use the phone for like an hour. Then, when I checked it, it was down like 10-15%. Not sure if it was the kernel or the rom. Now, I have Andromeda v3 with the speedmod kernel (again because my headphone controls wouldn't work with ursa minor kernel #1 or #2). I'm loving the battery life now. When I'm not using the phone, it barely drains at all. When I do use it, I think it has good battery life. I say "good" because I don't test many different roms, so I have no reference. It may be great.
[Captivate Android Development] mxracer101:
Can you elaborate on "headphone controls not working?. The kernel supports both hp (3 pole) and 4 pole headphones for calls. Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] timmytim:
Hmmm, didn't think to try Dalvik cache but I'm sure that couldn't hurt. I will try out OSmonitor. Spare Parts shows my WiFi On 100% but I think that's normal when it's turned on right?

I just took a test and used my calculator on the phone to do so. The battery was charged to 97% prior to the test. The test took was about 1 hour long and I didn't use it the whole time and now it's down to 80%. My screen brightness is about 40% and I have auto-rotate turned off. That just seems like alot of drain to me.
[Captivate Android Development] psloan:
Ive been trying to find a good modem, thus I have been flashing a bunch. I have noticed on a couple instances my battery would suck big time after a flash. Doing a Dalvik cache wipe solved them. give it a shot.
[Captivate Android Development] slevy951:
Is it me or is the auto-rotation more sensitive? It seems to be rotating when I sent the phone down on a desk and stuff more often. Adjustable?

TIA,

Scott
[Captivate Android Development] pjs2004:
Sorry, I forgot about phone call controls. I should have been more specific. I meant for music. With winamp, my earbuds with the single push button for music control wouldn't pause/play music. When I switched to speedmod, they worked. Is ursa minor supposed to support that, as well as for calls?
[Captivate Android Development] bigbooty:
All roms act that way. Just turn it off.
[Captivate Android Development] timmytim:
Thanks man, I flashed it the other day and battery life seems to be the same as with ver. 2 (like you said :) )

I wil look into investigating my apps and widgets now. Thanks man.

Hello all,

I have been faced with the auto rotation not working. I'm running Andro 2.2 and I have tried the "sensorcalibutil_yamaha" calibration. This gives me a fail on calibration?

Will flashing Andro3 resolved this? Flashing with a clean wipe? This phone without the g-sensor is really useless. Thanks

[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
Well I finally came over to Andromeda with the release of 3.0 from using Darky and I can say that this ROM is MUCH snappier which is so nice to see. I didn't realize how slow Darky's rom has gotten over the last few releases.

Bravo on a great release.

I do however have something to say. If this is a Captivate ROM why not work off of a 2.2.1 Captivate kernel like Rogers or AT&T? Also why keep the ridiculously horrible Giorgio Armani boot screen when you could put Android and Andromeda in there or something instead.

Other than that I am a happy man with this release... now if only there were some themes.
[Captivate Android Development] SynGamer:
How exactly does one change or remove the boot screen? It's hideous, especially after you see the Ursa Minor screen.
[Captivate Android Development] axis01:
There is no official ATT 2.2.1 for the Captivate. KB1 was just released last month and it's 2.2. Not even sure if there's a official Rogers 2.2.1. The only 2.2.1 roms i've seen are ported I9000 roms. The Armani edition is now getting a KB2 upgrade which I think the guys are working on. I assume it's 2.2.1 but I haven't seen the version numbers.

As for the GA boot screen, I kinda like it. To each his own I guess. What makes you think we all want android written across our boot screen? At least this is somewhat unique.
[Captivate Android Development] creepyncrawly:
To remove the Armani branding, you can easily replace both the boot and shutdown animations yourself. For the boot animation, find something you like by searching around. The file you need will be named bootanimation.zip. Use root explorer or similar root file explorer, or adb to copy the file to /data/local/bootanimation.zip (recommended) or /system/media/bootanimation.zip. The shutdown animation resides in System/Media/Video/ as individual graphic files. Just find a set of files that you want, and replace the ones that are currently in that directory. You should be able to find things easily with a search for android shutdown animation or something similar.

I have the Android Scribble boot and shutdown animations on my phone. If anyone wants those, I can post them later today when i get back home.
[Captivate Android Development] AdamOutler:
We want to make sure that people know that this is the Giorgio Armani GT-I9010 ROM to which which we have applied tweaks. As far as asthetic tweaks, we've branded the kernel, the first sound you hear, and the very last graphic. The rest of our tweaks are to increase function. I suppose we could use a good 3d graphics designer.

The sensor calibration works fine from Settings>Display>Horizontal calibration. This should be about all that you need.
[Captivate Android Development] DaWongOne:
I have tried the Horizontal calibration and it says calibrated but non of the g-sensors work. Is there a setting somewhere that turns it off besides the obvious ones?

It stopped working after I put the phone in the samsung cradle. It seemed like the phone rebooted and the next day when I woke up the auto rotation and any of the app that use the acellerometers stopped working????

Please help. Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] AdamOutler:
I had that problem once when I accidentally hit the calibrate button while picking my phone up after calibrating it. It sounds like your sensor is out of wack. Try recalibrating again. Its under settings,display,horizontal calibration. Horizontal cal should be performed while the phone is lying on its back on a level surface.

Audience support in Andromeda

Apologies if this has been answered definitively or not... I've looked around, and found some conflicting posts, but that's about it.

Is the Audience chip used by Andromeda? Until recently I thought the chip was only used by Captivate modems (e.g. KB1), but I've found some posts here that indicate that Andromeda has supported the Audience chip for awhile now.

Wired and handset voice quality are as important as stability/reliability for me, which is why I'm asking; all else is icing.

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] AdamOutler:
^^ I think mxracer said no. He is working on it though.

I forgot to mention 2 features in this ROM.

1. BASH (Bourne Again SHell) for those of you who use the terminal frequently. Lots of speedups in BASH.. Run "bash" from a terminal.

2. TCPDump allows packet sniffing and monitoring. This program makes the app "Shark Native" work. You can see all the data comming in and going out of your phone.
[Captivate Android Development] boborone:
Can that be used like backtrack for mobileap?
[Captivate Android Development] AdamOutler:
^^Yes... You can set up a mobile AP in a public spot, then use Shark Native to track all data going through it.

I just redid the first post to include a more complete list of features. this is by no means comprehensive, but it is a more complete list of features.
[Captivate Android Development] mxracer101:
The audience chip is not supported in the UrsaMinor kernel at this time. The kernel is where that code lives (vs the modem). It would/will have to be a port from the captivate KB1 code.
[Captivate Android Development] Jim_C:
I have tried (unsuccessfully, I might add) to flash the Ursa Kernel (v.2) on my phone. I put the phone in debugging mode, open up Odin3 1.7, plug cable in, go to download mode on my phone, click on PDA in Odin, but Odin can't seem to find the Ursa Minor file, even after a brand new download saved to the desktop. To be honest, I spent my entire Sunday afternoon and evening messing around with this. At this point, I am getting ready to look for a new kernel/ROM combo. (Yes, I'm rooted.) You guys have any suggestions/advice? Thanks in advance...

(I'm on a 64-bit Windows Vista computer, if that makes a difference.) Last time I changed ROMs, I used one of DG's ROMs which downloaded and worked great, but that was on Eclair (sp?), and not FroYo. I don't know if that would matter or not.

Flash using clockwork mod there is a CWM file in the fourth post thats the easiest way just remember to wipe cache partition and dalvik cache before reboot it might take a few xtra min's to rebuild at reboot but it at least its not all day sunday. :-)

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897

Edit] version 2 in the first post
[Captivate Android Development] AdamOutler:
You only need Odin3 and a tar file for the first flash. That installs ursa minor with clockwork mod. After that, download zip files and flash like a rom using CWM.... hold 3-button-combo and then select zip from sdcard. :-)

[Captivate Android Development] 1tontomato:
I went to the first post and downloaded the Ursa minor 2 kernel to because I didn't want to dispense unconfimed info. What I found when I looked at it root explorer is yes it is a CWM flashable zip, but it also includes a modem. If you want just the kernel mxracer101 posted it a few pages back. The easiest way to find it is to click on the paper clip at the end of the heading for Andomeda on the development page, it will show you a list of everything thats been posted in a thread. The one you want is Ursa_Minor_#2CWM.zip. Hope that helps.

This is interesting. I have had problems with Auto Rotate stopping on me on every 2.2.1 ROM I have tried, after being loaded 3 weeks or so. So I am currently on Cognition to see if the native Captivate 2.2, about 3 weeks now, and so far so good. But I have one other issue haunting me, which is not ROM specific.( I'm going to post a question on it in the Q&A thread to see if anyone is experiencing it.)

The only thing that would fix it for me is a flash back to 2.1, and then reflash of whatever ROM. Very annoying. I hope that is not the case for you with this ROM. I may be applying this ROM today.

Due to this experience for me on 2.2.1 ROMs, it now makes me leary of installing anything based on 2.2.1

how do i get back the vibration when unlocking? (glass unlock,like stock unlock screen will vibrate once u unlock)
[Captivate Android Development] AdamOutler:
^^

Settings, sound, haptic feedback.

I had that happen once when I accidentally calibrated the horizontal calibration while i was moving the unit. The horizontal calibration bubble was straight up and stuck at the top of mys creen. The unit should be calibrated on it's back.

One suggestion I would love to see implemented is the ascending ringtone being taken out. I hate it so very much.

So far I have been loving this ROM though. Great work!

Also are there any Andromeda3 themes?

[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
this is all handled inside phone.apk

the first andromeda releases had this feature....
[Captivate Android Development] AdamOutler:
Oh, I must say, that is one of the more elegant features of this ROM. It gives you a chance to silence the ring, or answer and run out of the room when you feel it in your pocket before it goes full blast. Ringing can lead to very embarrassing situations in meetings.
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
i do agree with this. i have keyboard cat as my ringtone...some people in our meetings just dont get it ;)

i dislike this feature too.

but it would be nice to have a TOGGLE option
[Captivate Android Development] megarific:
Why does the vibration of those 4 button below the screen (setting, home, return, search) become weak after flashing? I tried using odin and reflashed but still same result.

If I flash to speedmod or onix,will it decrease battery life or slower performance?
[Captivate Android Development] axis01:
The default setting is about 60% if I remember right. Go into settings and turn up the intensity.
[Captivate Android Development] megarific:
What battery issue?nid calibrate?
[Captivate Android Development] megarific:
I did checked that,my keyboard vibration intensity is still strong after flashing, only those 4 buttons r very weak...
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
Interesting how much we all differ in opinions ;) Keeps things interesting.

I prefer it, in general, as it gives me opportunity to hear and silence it before it annoys everyone else. But or course, if I'm not close to the phone, then it may be a bit before I hear it, and may miss a call.

Toggle would be nice, but that probably isn't easily doable.

[Captivate Android Development] megarific:
can i get KB1 for this rom? will it affects anything? battery? performance? picture quality?
[Captivate Android Development] AdamOutler:
No. KB1 is AT&T Software. It is a severe downgrade. KB2 is Armani. Andromeda is based on Armani. We are looking at working with KB2, but our initial tests showed no change in the buttons nor any features worth revisioning laterally from current 2.2 to 2.2KB2.
[Captivate Android Development] axis01:
So what did they change from KB1 to KB2? I just assumed that it would essentially be like 2.2 to 2.2.1.
[Captivate Android Development] AdamOutler:
As far as I can tell, nothing at all.. They have not released the source yet though. Whatever it is, it seems like a move to unify Armani Captivate and AT&T captivate... KB1 was releaed for AT&T Captivate last month, and KB2 was released for Armani this month... There is no substantial difference which I can tell between Andromeda3, AT&T-KB1 and Armani-KB2 as far as the Android layer goes.
